Christmas Morning

Anna had a good time opening presents, especially playing with the ribbons and bows. She has been playing with all of her new toys, and making lots of music, since Christmas. It was a special holiday for us all!

Christmas Eve

It was warmer than it usually is on Christmas by the river.




Anna really likes jewelry!


Two teeth in, but more on the way!
We all enjoyed the children's service at Church of Our Saviour. Anna liked smiling and waving at the people behind us, and they helped us out by entertaining her as well. She wore a hair bow for the first time, and it stayed put surprisingly well!

O Christmas Tree

We had such a pretty tree this year (well, we still do, since I don't plan to take it down until Adam makes me!), and I wanted to take a picture with all the presents beneath it before we packed them in the car.

Nine Months Old!

More Pre-Christmas Fun!

Anna liked the tinsel...

but she didn't want to let it go!







Standing takes a lot of concentration!

Ornament

Adam and I have gathered so many ornaments over the years that remind us of different people, places, and special times. It was great getting to pick out an ornament for our most special little person this year!

Dancing Queen

Anna was enjoying dancing to the Tom Petty her Papa was playing on his computer.

Photo Shoot

After we brought home our tree, we had a little Christmas card photo shoot. Anna was very cooperative and Adam took some great pictures!

Christmas Tree Shopping with Miss Claus!

Anna seems to really like her new dress, and she loves holding onto her hairbrush lately!

Ho, ho, ho!
